A few weeks ago, I was reading about how Joe Eszterhas converted back to his Catholic faith. Neat story considering he wrote some of the most offensive screenplays. I mean Showgirls, bad on so many levels. In the article, I thought what he said was actually kind of funny:
He said that living in the heartland, he sees how much Hollywood producers are out of touch with most Americans.
“I find it mind boggling that with nearly 70 percent of Americans describing themselves as Christians, and witnessing the success of The Passion of The Christ and The Chronicles of Narnia, that Hollywood still doesn’t do the kinds of faith-based and family-value entertainment that people are desperate to see,” Mr. Eszterhas said.
Hollywood is so dang obnoxious, they not only don’t get it, they don’t care to get it.
Exhibit A:
Burger King feels they can sell me burgers by staying open late-not a bad marketing ploy, I’ve been known to wake up at 1AM desperately hungry. But by telling me I need to go to BK at 1 AM because Diddy said so. Are you kidding me? Now I never want to go to BK again. Ever. I find this man so offensive. They keep giving us reality shows where he treats people like complete garbage, yet despite all their shoving down our throats I Want to Work for Diddy (another show where he gets to belittle people for our entertainment), no one can figure out why people would actually rather see New York and her control-freak mother for another round of breast augmented antics than Mr. Oh-He’s-Such-a-Good-Business-Man-and-a-Snappy Dresser!
Last but not least, the You Tube political rant, Diddy Blog Number 16-“John McCain, you are buggin’ da f%^k out!” In case you do want to witness this great display political insight due to foul language (consider yourself warned) or simply because it might no longer be there in 5 minutes (these videos keep disappearing), let me give you some of the highlights:
Attention, John McCain, Attention John McCain, my name is Diddy! You may know me by my government name, Sean Combs, but my friends and my family call me Diddy, A.k.A. Sirach Obama.
So Janice and Melvin Combs were forced by the government to name him Sean and give their child their last name?
I don’t even understand what planet your on right now! This is the job to be the leader of the free world. No disrespect, I love ya, I want ya to live to be 110…
Showing he has no party bias.
but things happen, like what if God forbid! You got a running mate, you become president…Alaska?!? Alaska, Alaska, Alaska! Alak-c’mon Man. I don’t even know if there any black people in Alaska!
I don’t even know if there are any Eskimos is Mt. Vernon. Not that if I did, it would be significant, just sayin’.
Ima calling all this…all colors, all youth voters! November 4th! We have to protect our future because John McCain is buggin’ the f%^k out!
To spare you, he goes on with some other stuff about how Sarah Palin doesn’t represent black people and that’s disrespectful. Yes, because there is no such thing as a young minority who wants to protect their future by voting against a pawn for PP as Barack Obama. Why would there be? It goes against stereotypes, and because Diddy says so (it worked for BK).
Exhibit B:
Matt Damon’s political commentary.
He is worried about Sarah Palin coming to office and burning books, if she believes dinosaurs roamed the earth 4000 years ago. “It’s absurd and I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking more about how absurd it is.” Because, Matt, people are talking about how absurd this YouTube clip is about how the worst case scenario is a really, bad Hockey Mom Disney movie. These are your issues. Gosh, this could be a bad script. Not that.
Exhibit C:
Someone had a great idea: The MTV VMAs and the cleverness of an unknown British comedian mocking our government and the average citizen’s ability to vote 9you know, the kid who would be watching the VMAs)! Hilarity ensues!
Some people, I think they’re called racists, say that America is not ready for a black president. But I know America to be a forward-thinking country, right. Because, otherwise, you know, would you have let that retarded cowboy fellow be president for eight years?
As always, he managed to get to the heart of the people and truly understands our reasoning. It’s like he’s psychic, or even better-asked someone!
Exhibit D:
John McCain on The View
Whoopi: Do I understand you are a strict constitutionalist? Should I be worried about becoming a slave, because somethings in the Constitution had to be changed.
Man, it amazes me how she goes straight to the heart of the issues in a manner the way the rest of us are afraid! Abortion-non issue! The idea that me and mine are going to round up after January 20th and put to work in the fields-that’s the issue! And no, I am not mocking for five seconds, what my-what our, because we are all Americans, ancestors went through. But to even consider such a thing as a concern when deciding who to vote for, not in the top 10 or 20 of my concerns.
Why do celebrities think that by virtue of being in bad, Disney movies, their vapid opinions on nothing (again, note not one true issue was addressed) is all it takes to strong arm us into voting the way they want? I cannot even gather what it is they want except for, like everything else in Hollywood, some type of appearance.
The funny thing is, I am still not sure I am even voting for McCain. I still have some issues I have to decide on (none of which are whether I am concerned about a revival in the plantation system, if Sarah Palin believes in dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago, or because Diddy said so). as much as I like Sarah Palin, I am still not 100% decided (I probably won’t be for a long time). But I tell ya, this stuff makes me so darn angry that it makes me want to vote McCain for no other reason besides spite for insulting my intelligence.
